Thought I should share with you a bit of what I’ve been doing around the house. Maybe I should’ve documented the process a little better but here it is…
I love the powder room because it’s a small space so you can do more drastic things with it and no one will complain. I call it the jewel. Whenever I got to a new place I pay attention to the washroom because that tells me whether or not the owner really cares about the user experience. Often times people don’t put a lot of money into washrooms bc they don’t think it’s important. I think the opposite! Why? The washroom is still part of the “fancy restaurant” it’s still going to be part of the experience of dining there. I shudder at the thought of countless “after-thought” washrooms with its florescent lights. yuk. All to say that I judge an interior (mostly just restaurants) by its washroom.
before – painting with black paint is both terrifying and incredibly fun.

After – Tah dah!!!!!!! mini slot shelf for those magazines that are a little bit older…

This is what I’ve done to our powder room so far. It’s not finished yet so don’t judge me just yet!

I’m pretty good at building stuff. Maybe because I learned wood working from the tender age of 13 from a wonderful teacher who’s name is conveniently mr. wood. I hate going to ikea. But i loooooove to build it. One of the first steps ron and I are taking is turning our third room into a walk-in closet or “dressing room”.
